j elevators when they ship their wheat to these
cities 1t also protects the large farmers
who ship their own wheat by the car load.
Mr. Donnely's bill proposes that the county
s%A, commissioners of each county shall appoint
> not more than three local inspectors in each
county, at the three stations handling the
greatest amount of wheat in the county.
Whenever a farmer has dispute with a
warehouseman as to the grade or weight OF
his wheat he can call upon the local in
spector, who shall decide as to the grade,
and if REQUIRED weigh the wheat He shall
be paid 20 cents for grading and 10 cents for
weighing, to be paid by the party against
whom his decision is given. There may not
be one case in fifty where such a dispute
would arise. but the fact that there was a
representative of the state to whom appeal
could be made would prevent good deal of
extortion. The local inspector would pro
ably be a merchant; he would receive
a $500 per year for his services besides
Il his fees to be paid out of the
tate inspection fund. Mr.. DonnelIy esti-
mates that there woa1d be 100 such local

would amount to $40, 600. An inspection
charge OF one-quarter of one cent on all the
est wheat in the state would yield over $780,
&C 900; and the local grading would save them
at least five cents bushel at a cost of one
quarter of one cent. If either party was
dissatisfied with the grading made by the
local inspector, he could have the right of
appeal to the chief inspector in St Paul.
small sack CT the wheat in question would
be sealed up and sent to the chief Inspector;
and in the meantime the warehouseman
would be obliged to received the wheat as

appeal ticket" oSbe reformed if the grade ls

long to the state inspection fund. This fund
shall be raised by fines. ETC.. and by the in
spectlon charge of one-fourth OF cent per
